What a time to be alive!

That’s nothing.

I just trained an even better LLM on a bag of potato chips - come at me Techbros 😤

I have heard you can rent LLMs for $30/hr with very high reasoning capabiltiies, self-checking correctness, extremely low hallucinations and even understanding emotions

Yeah but you can’t eat the hardware when done

Fair. But can it run doom?

I can run doom on a single Dorito chip brother

30$?

That's not even the price of a PSU.

Do they run that on a casio watch or what? With technicians earning 5c/h?

Article does not mention the hardware they used.

Can someone explain this to me?
